Oh, come on, Bob! You couldn't have staged that one any better!
Let me guess... That's you in the Steam engine and Alan John Crotty in the Turbostar, right?

my suspicions! Perfectly executed, timing, location and experience - a worthy PC's contender.

Sorry Mitch - only about 700 miles difference between the two locations! And the 4-4-0 was stationary while the passengers had lunch, and a Turbo passing every few minutes, so not difficult!

Shhhhhhhhhhh!
I deny your reality and substitute it with my own.
|
Should also have mentioned the English-Electric 1958 vintage class 20 diesel at the other end of the steam-hauled train.
|
No, no, no... Bob.
Again, I say no to your reality.
This was perfect timing with perfect compostion and luck.
Seriously, it's a wild looking capture.

Hi Mitch,
I heard Bob was in Scotland, so I fired up the 170 Turbo Star and hurried North, just in time for him to take the shot.
Mind you he was gentleman enough to buy me lunch in the dining car for all my efforts!
